Stetik Escape

Staring up at the towering shelves in the Athens library, I thought, ‘Those stairs might just be the only thing standing between me and a PhD in procrastination!’ 📚😄

Sharing a candid perspective ⚓️🛥️💪

Working away from home is a serious commitment, and it's disheartening to face misconceptions about being 'stingy' or excessively wealthy due to my role as a seaman.

While I do have financial stability, every peso spent signifies the hard work put into earning it, and the journey has been anything but easy.

My career involves risking my life, enduring stress, combating loneliness, and sacrificing family time. Life at sea includes sea sickness, pressure, and anxiety. On some occasions, finding solace in solitude becomes necessary, allowing tears to be a cathartic release from accumulated exhaustion.

Life on board goes beyond picturesque images, presenting significant challenges. True understanding emerges only through firsthand experience.
